Lets face it: Salma Hayek might actually be the most perfect starlet in
Hollywood. Not only is she an acclaimed actress, but she has her own production company,
co-founded the Cooler Cleanse and created her own skincare collection. Beyond
her impressive resume, the 48-year old is also incredibly down-to-earth. In a
new interview, she opens up about how she's never used Botox, flies coach and
thinks
Bradley Cooper is gorgeous.

"I use an ingredient called
Tepezcohuite that's used in Mexico for burn victims because it completely
regenerates the skin, and there's no one in the States who is using this ingredient
except for us," Salma
told Elle magazine of her skincare routine.
"Some of the ingredients, when I took them to the American labs, they were
like 'Oh my god! How come nobody is using this?' This is why I have no Botox,
no peels, no fillings. I'm 48. I will be 49 this year and I only use my
creams."

Her secret to perfect skin comes from
her grandmother, who taught her about a secret ingredient. "When we were
growing up, people would burn the seed of this fruit called Mamey," she
said. "It doesn't exist here, and with the oil, you put it in your lashes
to make them grow longer. We use it also on the hair."

Aside from treating her skin right,
the Latin beauty also follows a healthy diet incorporating "super
foods" into her meals. "I do a lot of really good recipes
with quinoa," she added. "I change it all the time, but I do one
quinoa where I put curry and then some sautéed vegetables, and then add the
quinoa, and then continue to cook the quinoa with the vegetables and the curry powder,
and some Indian spices that I can get in London. And you have a complete
meal."

And though she is one of the world's top actresses, Salma also revealed
she doesn't always fly first class. "Sometimes I fly
first class or business, and sometimes if that's the plane that is the right
one for my schedule, I fly coach. And sometimes the plane that is the right
plane doesn't even have first class," she said. "I would rather take
coach than waste my time. Time is the greatest luxury one can have; even more
luxury than first class or a private plane."

But when it
comes to men, it's all about Bradley Cooper, calling him the most eligible
bachelor. "I can say that because he's very good friends with my husband.
I'm not going to get into trouble," Salma joked. "And you know what,
he really is gorgeous. But to me he's gorgeous because he's a gorgeous human
being. From any way that you see, he's such a lovely guy. Girls, this is the
catch of the year!"
